On an island surrounded by crystal clear waters that consistently rank as the cleanest in Europe - and are further enhanced by their pleasant all-year-round temperatures of approximately 16-24° C - it is only natural that water sports would feature as a popular pastime, and one that offers an abundance of choices. The range of water sports available in Cyprus start from gentle activities in shallower waters, to pursuits that offer an exhilarating thrill for even the most daring of athletes… and everything in between! A large number of licensed water sports operators can be found directly on public, organized beaches, and on the coastline of hotel strips, where a selection of both fun or challenging sea activities can be booked on the spot, including: banana boats, tube rides, pedalos, water skiing, wakeboarding, bodyboarding, SUP, parasailing, jet skiing, windsurfing, canoeing and kayaking. The relevant guidance and/or safety equipment is provided by the water sport operators, who also offer arrangements for water sports courses. ﻿

For jet skis and speed boats rentals, please note that the minimum user age is 18 years, and a safety / operation briefing prior to their use is provided by the water sports operators.

Other, more specialist pursuits, such as kitesurfing, can be found on designated, dedicated coasts where schools for the sport can also be found. Seasoned water sports enthusiasts will find various communities and club facilities for their particular expertise or passion in all the coastal towns.
